Redmax GZ3500T?

[sawinredneck]

No, I'm not going to try climbing, I've been thinking for a while that small little top handle in the truck toolbox might be handy to have. Something light, with a decent amount of power, but not the $600 plus price of the "good" ones.
I was looking hard at the Echo's then I talked to a buddy of mine and he's going to be a dealer for Redmax with some other things he signed up for.
So here's the saw, http://www.redmax.com/products/chain-saws/gz3500t/#ratings and other than the usual useless banter on AS, I really can't find much more information on it.
I can get a NIB saw with a 14" B&C shipped to my door under $300. Which really doesn't sound all that bad to me? A freckle under 2hp and 7.5lbs.
Anyone run one? comments good or bad?

Redmax 3500 is the maker of the husqvarna T435. Look that up and you will get all the info you need, T435

I think you can get down into the mid to high 200 range on either one of them. Look around.

I've used the Husky T435, and it's not a bad little saw. Don't expect lots of power, but it seems decently made.

I can get it cheaper than that as well, Kevin, I tend to round up, and as I said, that's shipped to my door.
What really impressed me was this video, I'm not a "Brad" fan by any stretch, but if it really does run this good with just a muffler mod, it's mighty impressive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsbzh6oUBAM
No, it's not a 200t, but neither is the 201t! And this is half the price!

Redmax I believe is the same as Zenoah. I have the older style 2500. Good gear from my experience.

Muffler mod would go a bit on that one.. Runs about like an Echo of the same CC

 

[sawinredneck]

That one was muffler modded.
